ABOUT THE SURFACE
(article first published : 2007-03-3)

About the surface is an exhibition running at the KZNSA Galleries that celebrates the art of painting as a tool of communication. The KZNSA invited four prolific painters, namely Grace Kotze, Themba Shibase, Gabi Ngcobo and Dean Donaldson to take part in the exhibition.

About the Surface intends to pay tribute to and also acknowledge the contribution of the invited artists towards ensuring that the culture of painting does not diminish within the province of KwaZulu Natal.

The medium of painting has undergone a number of challenges over the years with the growing trend of new media practice. However, the invited artists have continuously ensured the credibility of the practice especially within the Durban area and its surroundings.

About the Surface closes on March 4. More information on 031 277-1703.
